These flashcards are a fun and interactive way to enhance your knowledge of the skin’s layers.
The skin is composed of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue. The epidermis is the outermost layer that protects against harmful substances and helps regulate body temperature. The dermis contains blood vessels, nerves, and sweat glands, providing nutrients and sensation. The subcutis, or hypodermis, is the innermost layer that stores fat and helps regulate body temperature. Understanding the layers of the skin is essential for maintaining healthy skin and preventing damage.
